Don't Look Away
Hoobastank
Everybody's guilty trying sell you a lie
I've been buying yours and you've been buying mine
'Cause up until now all we know of you or me
Is what we want the other to see
Even at my worst (make it quick, losing light)
It's all been well rehearsed (little more to the right)
Doctored up, filtered out
Just the best is allowed
Make it pop little more
Now it's ready for the world
Don't look away, don't close the page
Don't act like you don't do the same thing too
It's me, it's you, but not the truth
Don't act like you don't do the same thing too
'Cause you do
If we ever meet we're both in for a surprise
The person that we see won't match the ones in our minds
Without that one effect what you see's not what you get
So back behind the lens and I'll adjust on the fly
Everyone can see (I'm a fake, insecure)
Everyone but me (It's intentional blur)
I'm a god, even more, in my own little world
See this look on my face?
This is how I woke today
Don't look away, don't close the page
Don't act like you don't do the same thing too
It's me, it's you, but not the truth
How else was I going to show you
Everything on the screen
Is just another version of the person that I want you to see
Don't act like you don't do the same thing
(Just another version of the person that I want you to see)
Nothing's quite as it seems
Nothing's quite as it seems
Just another version of the person that we want you to see
(Just another version of the person that we want you to see)
